Black because this is the part of the year where retailers finally begin to turn a profit or “move into the black”? Black because the workers in the stores that open ridiculously early and close ridiculously late are in very dark moods by the time the whole thing is over?[More...]

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:21:09 GMT

On Thanksgiving when Americans celebrate their first bailout, the big story is that the planned “orderly” decline in the Greenback is starting to be anything but!
